Their names, Yui learned were Saint Charloss and Saint Shalulia, the son and daughter of Saint Roswald. Charloss, had lost his interest in Yui quickly, but Shalulia always was on constant watch, even dragging her around as her own slave, though Yui was technically Charloss's. Shalulia would constantly ask Yui to use her Devil fruit powers to make something happen, and because of her confidence, she believed Yui would abide by her command of not attacking a Tennryubito. Mariejois, where Shalulia and Charloss lived was the World Government headquarters that Yui detested. The Marine admirals walking by Shalulia would also bow, despite being some of the most high ranking officials in the world. Shalulia would also sometimes bring Yui into the meeting rooms, and she would see the wanted posters of pirates. Yui's mood would always go up when she noticed the increase in bounty of the pirates. Yui respected those pirates for being able to rebel against such strong Marine soldiers, and she knew Grandpa was right when he said that the sea was a wondrous place.
Shalulia dragged Yui along to a horrible room that seemed like a torture chamber.
Shalulia sighed, "I can't believe I forgot to mark you after all this long time." She pointed toward the man in the chamber and he chained her to the wall. Taking a burning hot iron, he burned it into her flesh. Yui didn't cry nor did she make any noise except for a small grunt.
"There, that's more like it." Shalulia walked around at Yui's back and looked at the image of the 'The Hoof of the Soaring Dragon' on her back. Her face twisted into a cruel smile, "Alright, get her off." The man hurriedly unchained Yui, while Shalulia grabbed the chain connected to Yui's collar and dragged her back to the cages.
"In you go."
"Yes, Mistress." Yui bowed, despite her back still burning hot. The door closed and Yui listened as Shalulia walked away.
The rest of the slaves hearing it also breathed sighs of relief. Yui glanced around her cell and began training again. Whenever, she was in the cage, she trained, for the proper moment when she could escape from Mariejois and travel the world, gather a good crew, and then come back to challenge the World Government again.
++++++++++++++++++++3 YEARS LATER++++++++++++++++++
Shalulia had been wise, a couple years ago, she had cuffed Yui with Sea Prism Stone, however, after years of effort, Yui stole the key from Shalulia. Moving her hands, Yui unlocked the cuffs and she was free. She rubbed her wrists and with a snap of her fingers, she was gone in the wind.
The wind carried her to the East Blue, to a town called Loguetown. Yui materialized on top of a building and jumped down. She realized immediately that she needed a weapon and headed toward a weapons store in the town. Upon entering the shop, the show owner who had been resting his head on his hand jerked up and smiled, "Welcome customer…" His smile faltered when he noticed Yui's rags and most especially his eyes trailed to the slave collar on Yui's neck. Yui seemed to remember about the collar and dematerialized into wind again before appearing right next to the collar as it dropped onto the ground. Picking it up she threw it into the air and used the wind to push it into the ocean waters. The man was even more displeased and his red nose twitched uncomfortably. He was short and with hair that seemed like black wings on either side of his head. He was nearly bald in the middle of his forehead. The crest like piece of hair in the middle of his forehead shifted down as his expression worsened.
"What do you want?"
Yui laughed, "What do I want? There is a reason why I came to a weapons shop." Her laugh was cold and emotionless.
"Do you have money?"
"I can buy anything under 100,000 Beli."
"100,000 Beli?" The man's voice rose, "I, Ippon-matsu, have no such weapons that cheap!" He claimed so, but his eyes continued to dart toward a barrel full of swords in the corner.
Noticing this, Yui walked toward the barrel and began looking through the swords, none interested her except for a pair of shirasaya. Their sheaths were plain, but the blades were crafted beautifully.
"How much for this pair?"
"Those trashy shirasaya? They are not worth anything. Some Wazamono grade sword."
"Why thanks." Hooking the shirasaya onto her clothes she turned to the man, "Their names? If they have meito…"
Ippon-matsu looked down and said quietly, "Kowareta Unmei(Broken Fate), Kanari Higeki(Pretty Tragedy)." He raised his voice, "Shoo! Go! Leave!"
"Thanks store owner- I mean, Ippon-matsu." Yui left, with the distinct feeling the man had helped her.
Yui headed for a clothing store next, but they rejected her before she even came in, because of the dismal rags that she wore.
Yui headed toward the center of Loguetown, where the execution platform was, hoping to see some more clothing stores, but she happened upon a fight. A boy with flaming red hair was fighting a couple of other pirates. He wielded a bone-like sword that could bend and twist, as well as extend (A retractable whip sword). Yui, who decided to test out Kowareta Unmei and Kanari Higeki, jumped into the crowd next to the boy and said, "I'm offering a little help."
"Don't need it."
"Doesn't matter."
Yui slightly irritated by the boy, distanced herself from him and took out Kanari Higeki. She had already decided she would only need to use one of the shirasaya to defeat them. Using the wind to propel her forward, she slashed at the pirates and in no less than a minute, they were all lying on the ground, some dead, some unconscious. Yui sheathed Kanari Higeki.
"You are rather fast," said the boy, turning towards her.
"I am, indeed."
"A Devil fruit user?"
"Perhaps."
"Really?"
"Do I look like I'm lying?"
"Perhaps."
"Well that's great. Do what you want."
Yui turned to stroll off, but stopped. "Would you happen to return you favor for me by buying clothes? The clothes owner seems to…dislike me."
"I never asked for you to help me."
"But I did. I'll even provide the money for the clothes. I just need the clothes."
"Fine. But under a condition."
"Name it."
"Pay me 50,000 Beli."
"Hah? I'm even paying for my own clothes! I just need you to buy it for me, and 50,000 Beli could get me another sword!"
"Then there is no deal."
"35,000 Beli."
"No bargains."
"Che. 50,000 Beli it is then."
"Which clothes are you looking for?"
"Clothes I can easily move in. Anything but a dress."
"Sure." The boy walked into the shop and came out a while later with a black tank, shorts, and black boots.
He threw them at her and she caught it.
"How much was it?"
"1,500 Beli."
Yui took at a small bag from her clothes and threw 51,500 Beli at him.
He grinned as he took the money. "Thanks for the business!"
"Cheapskate."
The boy slid his hand into his pocket to take out his money bag, but it was mysteriously gone. He turned to look at the girl, but she too, had disappeared. Realization struck the boy and he growled, "Damn you! I'll get you for this!"
